oo oo oooooo

I feel a project coming on......

[Drift]

Ive just wet meself how much are they

[alex]

Llama 4x4 are knocking them out at £70 per set... but bet I can knock somethin up lots of ideas running around at the mo. Will need to sort out my diff drop first so I can get the most from that juicy articulation without nailing my cv's at the first hole.

[Drift]

You got my number

[Road Hog]

Are they some sort of ARB disconnect ?

[Drift]

OOOOOOOO Yerrrrrrr baby

[Road Hog]

no ARB equals no down force

[Drift]

Hmmmm you would still gain a certain amount from the shocks and coils until they max out or hit the bump stops.
Other side is I suppose you are putting a lot of stress on the UJ prop joint and axle input bit (forgot name)

[Road Hog]

Pinion bearing ????

We added 3" extra dropper length on BRF`s 2" lifted car that seemed to work well last weekend

[alex]

I'm gonna use em on the front, definately gave lots of added off road performance on the SWB. Going to leave the one on the rear, cant see the ARB holding the articulation much.

[Drift]

Yer the front is most likely the better option.

[alex]

Yup, I already did the longer rears, so the fronts need somethin else. Was going to extend them, but disconnects look nice.

[Drift]

On balance if I had to choose I would say the front ARB is the most important in most cases, so keeping that as near to standard when on road would be beneficial, offroad with disconnects suits both purposes

[gregster]

These are the ones I made for my surf worked really well....

Different way of accomplishing the same thing, put easier to lock unlock than the ones you have pictured I would think...

Hope this helps...

[gregster]

and the parts needed....

[Drift]

Very early Fronteras had that ARB connect set up but it changed later on to a different set up.

[Road Hog]

Unfortunately that design will not work on most Frontera`s Gregster,as the linear movement is at 90 degrees to the fixings

[alex]

Interesting, am thinking a lil more old school. Cut an existing drop link close to the bottom and add a length of tube. Cross drill holes, a few heavy duty R clips. Needs to be a bit snug or holes will oval I reckon.

As I need to add a couple of inches to the drop link to compensate the lift, will work out about right in length too.

[Drift]

Could the holes have a welded collar on them?

[gregster]

I did think about being a real smarta4se with the surf.....

I was gonna replace the drop links with adjustable steering dampers as found on big motorbikes....

That way I could set em really stiff (and they go REALLY stiff....practically solid in fact) for road use, and just twist the dials on em when going off road which would then allow them to move freely!!!

Only had one damper at the time, and it would work, but then found a thread on a yankee yota site on how to make the other ones so did that instead!


Many race cars use the same set up to give varied antiroll bar effect for different track conditions, that is easily adjustable...


Just throwing another swerve ball for the mixing pot guys....would be really trick though!!!
